<br />" <br /> <br />Rather than injure the environment, our augmentation plan actually will promote conservation of <br />the Blue River and the Colorado River by taking one senior acre-foot of water out of the trading <br />system without increasing actual use. If our plan is rejected, that acre-foot of Blue Danube <br />Ditch water will become available for sale to a farmer downstream for agricultural irrigation, . <br />which could draw directly from the river and would be much more likely to affect the rate of the <br />Blue River flow than our proposed use. <br /> <br />In conclusion, we request that the Board approve our augmentation plan because the possible <br />injury to the local environment will be mitigated by the promotion ofthe Board's broader goals <br />of conservation of water in the Blue and Colorado Rivers. <br /> <br />Victoria Valar & John Kelly <br />0086 Gold Hill Road <br />Breckenridge, CO 80424-8815 <br />(970) 453-1760 <br /> <br />Currently permitted uses <br />Household <br />Non-commercial livestock (6 horses @ .012) <br />Total current uses <br /> <br />Total <br />Demands <br />0.31 <br />0.07 <br />0.38 <br /> <br />Augmented uses <br />Accessory apartment <br />Irrigation (1/4 acre - 10,890 sq ft@.05 af/1000 sq ft) <br />Total augmented uses <br /> <br />0.31 <br />0.54 <br />0.85 <br /> <br />Totals <br /> <br />1.24 <br /> <br />Page 2 of2 <br /> <br />Return <br />Flows <br />0.28 <br />0.00 <br />0.28 <br /> <br />ConsumptivE <br />Uses <br />O.O~ <br />0.07 <br />0.1C <br /> <br />0.28 <br />0.17 <br />0.45 <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />0.4C <br /> <br />0.73 <br /> <br />0.5C <br /> <br />. <br />
